I think s.th. like the output of -m24 would be nice. The main drawback
of this feature is that it only gives the influence according to one
of the variables used (initial_opposite_influence if I remember correctly),
while this is not the only one used in the code (e.g. when determining
dragon safety).

Hmm, would probably require a new board linked to the move. Then green
numbers for positive and red numbers for negative changes (yes, that does
happen) would do.

Also, you mentioned this once, I think it would really be useful to have
some sort of time stamp on the html views. The output of

grep Changelog gnugo/CVS/Entries 

(if you are using CVS) would be sufficient I'd say.
